Ashley Young

The Newcastle performance wasn't great yesterday but it's hard to fault the fight of the Newcastle United players and with 3 points against Aston Villa, that will give our players the confidence to go on and try to get a good result against Manchester United on Wednesday night at home. Ashley Young - we always [.

A somewhat improved –albeit not spectacular – performance over Preston North End see's United through to the Quarter-Final of the FA Cup where a tricky home tie with Arsenal lies in waiting. Focus instead shifts back to the Premier League this weekend, with a trip to South Wales in an attempt to tie down Champions League qualification.

Manchester United's new-found resilience could prove crucial if they're to end an 11-year drought and clinch the FA Cup this season, says Ashley Young.

On Monday night, United beat Preston 3-1 to book a place in the quarter finals, meaning they've now lost just once to Southampton in January in the 19 games in all competitions they've played since 2 November.

Manchester United came from behind to defeat Preston North End on Monday night to set-up a mouth-watering clash with Arsenal at Old Trafford in the FA Cup quarter-final. Goals from Ander Herrera, Marouane Fellaini and a Wayne Rooney penalty turned the game on its head after a deflected Scott Laird strike had put the home side ahead.

Ashley Young has insisted that Angel Di Maria was a great signing for Manchester United and that he will show his real quality and become a star at Old Trafford.

Since joining United from Real Madrid for a club record fee in the summer, Di Maria has failed to reach the heights of his days at the Bernabeu and, after a promising start to the campaign, the Argentine has struggled for consistency.

A broken plane, a broken dream, a broken heart, a broken team, no word said, a silent vow, we loved you then, we love you now.

Off the back of an emotional week United take what will undoubtedly be a difficult trip to London for Sunday's fixture against West Ham. It will be important to play with the spirit of those lost on that bleak February night.

Just when it seemed like they were finally getting healthy, Manchester United boss Louis van Gaal has confirmed that Michael Carrick will miss up to a month of action for Manchester United after rupturing a muscle.

Carrick is set to miss Premier League games against Leicester, West Ham, Burnley and Swansea and the FA Cup replay against Cambridge, plus a potential fifth-round tie against either Preston North End or Sheffield United.

Louis Van Gaal has confirmed Michael Carrick will miss the next four weeks with ruptured muscle, while Ashley Young is close to return to first team action.

Carrick's injury is the latest blow for United, though it might open the door for Ander Herrera and give the Spaniard the chance to establish himself as a regular figure in the team over the next month.

With all United's players injury free, with the exception of Ashley Young, Louis van Gaal finds himself in an unusual position ahead of our game against Southampton. Often, his team selection is forced by the injuries of other players, but today, with everyone to choose from, who will he pick?

I have said already 10 years ago or 15 years ago that, at the highest level, you can put [in] four players who are mostly creative.

No you're not imagining it. Manchester United go into their second tie with Southampton in little over a month with just one name on the first team injury list. Just one. Ashley Young remains the solo casualty in Louis van Gaal's squad, with a hamstring injury due to keep the England international out for around six weeks.

More failure at the Britannia in United's attempts to recover lost ground over the Premier League's top two confirms that the club's most likely avenue for silverware this season will come through the FA Cup. The competition's joint most successful team with 11 titles begin their campaign this year with a trip to Huish Park, Yeovil and without tasting success in over a decade.

Louis van Gaal described the second half of Manchester United's goalless draw at Tottenham as "a struggle for life" after outlining his frustrations with a fixture schedule which demanded two Premier League matches in fewer than 48 hours.

The visitors, who had not lost at White Hart Lane since May 2001, swept Newcastle aside in 53 minutes in the 3-1 win on Boxing Day.

The Colombian scored just his second United goal, cancelling out Christian Benteke's beautiful opener for the hosts.

Gabby Agbonlahor's controversial red card after a 50-50 challenge with Ashley Young forced Villa to play the final 25 minutes with 10 men, but they held on to end United's six-game winning streak and earn a deserved point.

Manchester United recorded their 11th win in 14 Premier League home games with a 2-0 victory over relegation threatened Sunderland at Old Trafford. Wayne Rooney scored twice as the Red Devils moved up to third position in the table, ahead of top four rivals' Arsenal and Liverpool's games on Sunday.

Adnan Januzaj probably put in his best performance of the season so far after replacing the disappointing Angel di Maria at half-time. United went on to score two goals in the second half, with Januzaj's shot leading to Wayne Rooney's second, which has earned him praise from Ashley Young.

If there's anything which justifies the praise Louis van Gaal receives from United fans, it's turning Ashley Young from arguably the worst and most disappointing player in the squad to someone who now offers a lot to the team.

Luke Shaw, whose injury allowed Young to come in to the team, has acknowledged that he now has to fight for his place in the team.

Ashley Young has answered questions from the fans for the official site.

How has playing for United shaped you as a person and a footballer? When you come to the biggest club in the world as soon as you walk through the door you can see the size of the club. Over the years I think I've grown as a player and grown as a man.

Ashley Young's reaction to his throw in says it all as Tottenham go on the attack following the ball slipping through his hands hard to understand why the referee didn't call it back for at the very least a foul throw.

I'm sure there's a little ill feeling between Gabby Agbonlahor and Ashley Young after all Young got to live the dream of a move to Old Trafford from Villa Park while poor old Agbonlahor has had to stay there and put up with all the ups and downs associated with the club since Big Ron left.

Ashley Young has been playing well at left-back when filling in for the injured Luke Shaw. Ahead of United's game against Southampton, Young has claimed that the squad is in great spirits following a run of four wins on the trot.
